I was working for an ISP and sent one of our customers a warning about harassing people via email. He switched to me instead. It escalated up the chain to my manager’s manager, who called the customer’s dad because he was 14. Dad got him under control, because the alternative was to lose his phone service for 12 months.
A year later, the kid contacted me again to say I should give him a job, because I’m an incompetent fuck and users shouldn’t have to put up with me. Would you be surprised to learn we didn’t hire him?
Every few years I stalk his blog to see what he’s been up to. There’s usually a couple more arrests to add to the tally, but like always they weren’t his fault, because someone provoked him!
Might be a fine line for a non public figure, but it’s not too different from providing someone’s Twitter handle after mentioning they were a dipshit. Assuming it’s a public facing blog.
Well… I’m going to hold off in any case, because it doesn’t take much reading to realise he has some kind of mental disorder. He might be an asshole as well as being disordered, but sharing his details would feel too much like collectively pointing and laughing at the disabled guy.

I must ask. Please post his blog link.
Wouldn’t that be doxxing?

Totally fair, and makes sense.
